The game was already hard to find, and expensive, but since the announcement of X, prices have tripled. It's going for over 200 dollars on some sites. I've never played it, but I hear it's one of the best Wii games. Is it worth more than a hundred dollars?

I'm not sure how the BC of the Wii U lends to it being reprinted? You mean remastered in HD like Wind Waker will be? I guess that's possible, but I don't know, it's a tricky one. One of the reasons it's so rare is that it was, I believe, a Gamestop exclusive, and they have stopped stocking it. If I recall correctly, it came very close to not being localized to begin with. Kind of wish I'd picked it up at the time, too. I know I'm not going to pay that kind of money for it.

X isn't actually a sequel to Xenoblade, at least I don't believe it is. But yeah, if it sells well enough, I guess I could see Nintendo reprinting it with a wider distribution than a single store. If X even comes over here anyway :/

I don't know about it being reprinted, since the Wii is obsolete, but, if it is available for the Wii U, presumably the price for the Wii game would drop, since, right now, the only way to play it is to have a physical copy. They'll still be expensive, but Amazon won't be selling them for 244 dollars.

Yeah, usually you see the price drop when they do remasters like that for rare games.

If you wanna hear something even shadier, it's being speculated that these are actually official reprints that GS is simply selling as pre-owned. No one is commenting on that story, though, so it may be true.

had a feeling the price added to it . but there was alot of positives to it as well . I'm sure the world very open or at least seemed so and it felt almost MMO like. but cause of that what it cost for you financially I mean and since you didn't enjoy it as much due to the controls it seems to have killed for ya. Sorry to hear that man.

It's okay. I got Tales of Xillia with the money instead.

Worth every cent.

The controls were a real pain. The thing is, if a Wii game doesn't make liberal use of the motion technology, the controls are... rather awkward. Hell, even then they're kind of off.

At $65, you now have a little bit less reasons to buy from those high-priced eBay sellers.

Funnily enough, years after release, you can finally buy Xenoblade Chronicles for near the original retail price. Well, almost. Now at $5 more than MSRP, you can get the GameStop “exclusive” pre-owned copy of Xenoblades Chronicles on the Wii for $65.

A few weeks ago, GameStop decided to slash the price on the previously out-of-print game from a ridiculous $89.99 to $79.99 (gee, thanks GameStop!), but with a new September GameStop coupon, you can take another $15 off, making it much less of a rip-off.

This deal is definitely better than buying from eBay sellers who ask anywhere from $70 all the way up to $169.99 (what the…). Other console deals of note include the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, for which can get a pre-order bonus of 1600 Xbox Live Points if you purchase from Microsoft Store online. Given Microsoft will be converting the points value to dollar amounts whenever the Xbone arrives, you’re essentially getting a bonus $20 in your Xbox Live account.

PC game deals for the week include Final Fantasy VII from GameFly for only $6.39. This is the recently reworked Steam version with slightly less annoying DRM, in addition to extra PC features like Cloud Save and Character Booster.

Oh, I could actually go for both of those at that price. I don't own MP2, and I never finished MP3. I wonder if that's online, too, or only in stores? Because I hate going out on Black Friday, blergh. Such a ****ing mad house everywhere.
